Jawi lesson is one of the Islamic Religious Knowledge components which is
compulsory for every Muslim pupil in primary school. However, it is a problem for
pupils to master the Jawi writing and reading skills. Since the beginning, pupils are
weak and confused in acknowledging the Jawi letters which look similar but
different in terms of the amount and position of the dots. Therefore, a research is
done to identify and solve this problem from repeating consistently. The researcher
has done a research at SJKC Chi Chi, Mantin. It involves six respondents from year
one pupils. The research data was obtained through interviews, pre-test, post-test and
observations. Based on these instruments, the respondents’ attitudes towards Jawi
lesson were detected. Singing method as well as carom games used by the researcher
seem to be successful in attracting the students’ interests to learn Jawi effectively.
